Mouse

Did you ever see a computer mouse in a race car cockpit?

Thought so!

DDC will let you use joystick switches, funky switches, buttons or even clutch paddles to control the mouse cursor. Having a mouse pad on your rig can be inconvenient, and usually it is not all that much mousing around required for sim use. So a suboptimal solution, like controlling the mouse with your steering wheel, can be great!

Left/right/middle click	Move	Scroll
Funky push (only left click)	Funky stick	Funky-type encoder
Any button	Any button	EC18-type encoder
	Thumb stick	rotary2Bit-type encoder
	Clutch paddles	PEC11-type encoder

All switches controlling the mouse cursor will work like normal switches as well, and you'll access the mouse control by holding/toggling another specific button.

While not typically found in sim racing controllers, thumbstick switches like Alps Alpine RKJXV- and RKJX2 - series are the best alternatives to an actual mouse. They are based on two potentiometers controlling each their axis. You'll need to set up two analog channels for these switches.

From DDC v3.0 these switches will have two modes; either controlling the mouse or controlling two joystick axis. When controlling joystick axis these switches can be used to look around in the cockpit, or even used as a typical console thumbstick to play your favourite non-sim games! Before DDC 3.0 they will only be able to control the mouse cursor.
